    Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION


    Field of the invention



    [0001] The present invention relates to a contact module of circuit breaker, and more particularly, relates to a moving contact linkage structure in the operation mechanism of a modular circuit breaker.

    The Related Art



    [0002] Modularization of contacts is a development trend of molded case circuit breakers. As an important component of the molded case circuit breaker, contact module has drawn great attention. Modern molded case circuit breakers with high breaking capacity generally utilize modularized contacts. The structural styles of the modularized contacts are various. For the purpose of keeping synchronization on the switching of contacts in separate phases, various types of rotational moving contact linkage structures are provided in domestic or foreign products. The rotational moving contact linkage structures may guarantee motion synchronization of contacts of separate phases, and contact balance on bilateral contacts within a rotary dual breakpoint moving contact in a particular single phase. A typical linkage structure is a metal rod member assembled additionally and independently to a contact module. Such a structure has a risk of interphase short circuit. Multiple location fit of the structure may also deteriorate the contact situation of the moving contact, such as unbalanced contact pressure on bilateral contacts of a rotary dual breakpoint moving contact.

    [0003] Document WO 03/050835 A1 discloses a multipole low-voltage power circuit breaker, comprising actuation means that have an actuation lever and an element for supporting and moving the moving contacts of the circuit breaker, a contoured insulating cover that has a first portion, which forms the lower part of the enclosure of the circuit breaker and delimits a containment volume, and a second portion, which forms the front wall and partially forms the side and upper walls of the circuit breaker, wherein it comprises multiple poles comprising an insulating enclosure with front and rear half-shells, operation mechanism side plate, contact rotor with movable contacts and linkage elements, arranged side by side and mutually assembled, and in that at least one portion of the side, upper and rear walls of the circuit breaker is constituted by the side, upper and rear walls of said assembled poles.

    [0004] The document US 2001/048354 A1 relates to a pressure sensitive trip mechanism for a rotary breaker, wherein the circuit breaker operating mechanism is coupled with a center cassette and is connected with the outer cassettes by drive pin. All cassettes along with the circuit breaker operating mechanism are assembled into base and retained therein by the mid-cover.

    [0005] The document US 2007/063796 A1 relates to a modular switching device which includes a plurality of interconnected modules, the modules having a control device module and a pole cell module, the modules of the switching device being directly interconnected with a shaft adapted to transfer a torque required for operating the switching device from one module to another module.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS



    [0019] The present invention provides a moving contact linkage structure of modular circuit breaker.

    [0020] The first case 101 has a first mounting hole 110 and the second case 102 has a second mounting hole 120. The position of the first mounting hole 110 and the position of the second mounting hole 120 correspond to each other. The operation mechanism side plate 104 has a third through hole 140. The third through hole 140 is positioned at a rotation center of a contact rotor 106. The operation mechanism lower connecting rod 105 has a fourth through hole.

The contact rotor 106 has mating surfaces on both sides. The first linkage member 107 connects to the mating surface on a first side of the contact rotor 106. The second linkage member 108 connects to the mating surface on a second side of the contact rotor 106. The contact rotor 106, the first linkage member 107 and the second linkage member 108 are mounted in the first mounting hole 110 and the second mounting hole 120.

    [0021] As shown in Fig. 4, the contact rotor 106 is rotatable around a rotation center. The contact rotor 106 has mating surfaces on both sides. The contact rotor 106 has first recess holes 160. The first recess holes 160 are positioned on the mating surfaces on both sides of the contact rotor 106. The first recess holes 160 on the mating surface of a same side are symmetric along the rotation center of the contact rotor 106. According to the embodiment shown in Fig. 4, on the mating surface of the same side of the contact rotor 106, there are at least two first recess holes 160 disposed on each side of the rotation center. Recess hole is utilized in the contact rotor 106 according to the embodiment shown in Fig. 4. It should be noticed that other forms, such as a lug may be used as well. If lugs are used on the contact rotor 106, the lugs now utilized on the first linkage member 107 and the second linkage member 108 shall be replaced with recess grooves correspondingly, so that the contact rotor 106 may still engage with the first linkage member 107 and the second linkage member 108. Returning to the embodiment illustrated by the drawings, there are two first recess holes 160 on the mating surface of a same side. The two first recess holes 160 are disposed to be symmetric along the rotation center if there is enough room. The depth of the recess hole 160 is at least 1.5mm, so as to ensure a contact surface enough for bearing the pressure.

    [0022] As shown in Figs. 5a, 5b, 5c and 5d, the first linkage member 107 has a first linkage matching surface and a second linkage matching surface. The first linkage matching surface has a convex first axle 170 at a position corresponding to the rotation center of the contact rotor 106. The first axle 170 connects to the third through hole 140 on the operation mechanism side plate 104, the connection is realized by insertion. The axial length of the first axle 170 ensures that the first axle 170 at least goes through the third through hole 140 on the operation mechanism side plate 104 and extends to a first non-through hole 180 on the second linkage member 108. The first linkage matching surface of the first linkage member 107 also has a second non-through hole 171. The second non-through hole 171 is parallel to the rotation axis of the contact rotor. The first shaft 103 connects to the second non-through hole 171 by insertion. The first linkage member 107 has at least two first lugs 172 on the first linkage matching surface, the first lugs 172 engage with second recess holes 182 disposed on the second linkage member 108. The first linkage member 107 has at least two second lugs 173 on the second linkage matching surface. The second lugs 173 engage with the first recess holes 160 on the contact rotor 106. The first linkage member 107 has a first arc surface 174 on the outer circumference. The first arc surface 174 rotates collaboratively with the first case 101 and the second case 102.

    [0023] As shown in Figs. 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d, the second linkage member 108 has a third linkage matching surface and a fourth linkage matching surface. The third linkage matching surface of the second linkage member 108 has first non-through hole 180 at a position corresponding to the rotation center of the contact rotor 106. The first non-through hole 180 connects to the first axle 170 of the first linkage member 107. The third linkage matching surface of the second linkage member 108 has a third non-through hole 181. The third non-through hole 181 is parallel to the rotation axis of the contact rotor 106. The first shaft 103 connects to the third non-through hole 181 by insertion. The third linkage matching surface of the second linkage member 108 has at least two second recess holes 182. The second recess holes 182 engage with the first lugs 172 on the first linkage member 107. The fourth linkage matching surface of the second linkage member 108 has at least two third lugs 183, the third lugs 183 engage with the first recess holes 160 on the contact rotor 106. The second linkage member 108 has a second arc surface 184 on the outer circumference. The second arc surface 184 rotates collaboratively with the first case 101 and the second case 102.

    [0024] As shown in Figs. 7a, 7b and 7c, the first case 101 and the second case 102 are the housing of the contact module. The first case 101 has a first mounting hole 110 on a flat surface in the middle part. The first mounting hole 110 accommodates the contact rotor 106, the first linkage member 107 and the second linkage member 108. A fourth lug 111 is disposed within the first mounting hole 110 at a position approximate to the outer surface of the first case 101. The fourth lug 111 has a full circle shape. The first linkage 107 or the second linkage member 108 may insert into the first mounting hole 110 from the inner surface of the first case 101, but the first linkage member 107 or the second linkage member 108 will not completely project out of the outer surface of the first case 101 because of the obstruction of the fourth lug 111. The protruding positions of the first linkage member 107 or the second linkage member 108 out of the outer surface of the first case 101 are limited to their linkage matching surfaces. The fourth lug 111 limits the protruding position of the first linkage member 107 or the second linkage member 108 projecting from the outer surface of the first case. The first mounting hole 110 cooperates for rotation with the first arc surface 174 of the first linkage member 107 or the second arc surface 184 of the second linkage member 108. The first mounting hole 110 does not block the connection between the first lug 172 of the first linkage member 107 and the second recess hole 182 of the second linkage member 108. The first mounting hole 110 does not block the connection between first shaft 103 and the first linkage member 107, or the connection between first shaft 103 and the second linkage member 108.

    [0025] Still refer to Figs. 7a, 7b and 7c, the second case 102 has a second mounting hole 120 on a flat surface in the middle part, the second mounting hole 120 also accommodates the contact rotor 106, the first linkage member 107 and the second linkage member 108.

The first linkage 107 or the second linkage member 108 may insert into the second mounting hole 120 from the inner surface of the second case 102, but the first linkage member 107 or the second linkage member 108 will not completely project out of the outer surface of the second case 102 because of the obstruction of the fifth lug 121. The protruding positions of the first linkage member 107 or the second linkage member 108 out of the outer surface of the second case 102 are limited to their linkage matching surfaces. The fifth lug 121 limits the protruding position of the first linkage member 107 or the second linkage member 108 projecting from the outer surface of the second case. The second mounting hole 120 rotates collaboratively with the first arc surface 174 of the first linkage member 107 or the second arc surface 184 of the second linkage member 108. The second mounting hole 120 does not block the connection between the first lug 172 of the first linkage member 107 and the second recess hole 182 of the second linkage member 108. The second mounting hole 110 does not block the connection between first shaft 103 and the first linkage member 107, or the connection between first shaft 103 and the second linkage member 108.

    [0026] As shown in Figs. 8a and 8b, the operation mechanism side plate 104 has a third through hole 140 on a flat surface. The third through hole 140 is positioned at a rotation center of a contact rotor 106. The third through hole 140 connects with the first axle 170 of the first linkage member 107 by insertion. The operation mechanism lower connecting rod 105 has a fourth through hole on a flat surface. The first shaft 103 connects to the fourth through hole by insertion.
